Shannon Sullivan, our Host, lead the first of a new series of shows on labor issues with this on the union apprenticeship programs. We had guests from IUOE, IBEW, and UA. Shannon interviewed the union apprenticeship directors from a variety of trades on what union jobs have to offer the youth of today and the impact of the president's economic stimulus on the metropolitan DC building trades. In short, for over 100 years, union construction trades have built our nation’s capital region. Local unions organized workers to provide fair wages and job safety, create funds to support members’ health care and pensions and train new generations of skilled construction trades workers. These are workers who continue our tradition of creating and restoring the buildings that make our community and nation proud of Washington DC.

Mark Levine, our Host will discuss with his guests the intricacies of the political maneuvering and issues on this topic…. The confirmed guest is Jaline Quinto, Communications Director, DC Vote. Others from the various offices of the mayor and Congress as well as gun control have been invited. The only thing certain on this topic is that nothing is certain, but as shown on the title of this episode, DC now appears to have it's best chance yet to gain a vote in the House.

More Information and where to view these shows follows…….As well as Watch them "Live" and post comments in the Ustream Chat Room
